Matt Campbell Just Gave Penn State a Big Reason for Optimism Up Front

Matt Campbell has officially settled Penn State's starting offensive line heading into the season opener against Marshall, with Malachi Goodman earning the left tackle job alongside Trevor Buhr, Brock Riker, Cooper Cousins and Anthony Donkoh.

Zach Seyko and Black Shoe Diaries' Pat Koerbler (https://x.com/Poerbler) explain why this offensive line could become a legitimate strength for Penn State — and why Campbell's comments about the tight end room created some new questions entering Week 1.

They also discuss Andrew Rappleyea, Benjamin Brahmer, Finn Furmanek, Cooper Alexander and Brian Kortovich, plus the different mentality Rocco Becht and Campbell are bringing into the beginning of a new era at Beaver Stadium.

What are you watching most closely against Marshall?
